This is a tree maintenance services pruning cycle document for the City of West Sacramento, California, detailing a four-year cyclical maintenance schedule across multiple Community Facility Districts (CFDs) and Landscape and Lighting Districts. The City is soliciting proposals from qualified contractors to provide comprehensive tree maintenance services including pruning, removals, and plantings. The project encompasses a total of 16,219 trees distributed across 23 districts, with approximately 5,300 to 5,500 trees scheduled for maintenance annually over the four-year cycle. Tree work is distributed by diameter at breast height (DBH), with 43 percent in the 0-6" range, 43 percent in the 7-12" range, 11 percent in the 13-18" range, and 3 percent in trees 18" or larger. Qualified proposers must be registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations, hold a California Contractor's License (C-49), employ a Certified Arborist on staff during performance, possess the ability to create traffic control plans, and demonstrate previous work experience with other public agencies.

In fiscal year 2023/2024, the City expended $772,000 in contractor services for this maintenance contract, with approximately two-thirds of labor allocated to cyclical pruning and one-third to work orders for removals and plantings. The tree counts and pruning cycles are dynamic and subject to adjustment at the City's discretion and are presented to help envision the anticipated workload rather than as a guarantee of work volume. Fiscal year 2024/2025 represents the third year in the current pruning cycle, indicating an established contract period with continuing service requirements.
